Well, obviously! That's why I'm going to do some extra hard core training.

[penalizing]

are you going to eat raw eggs and run up lots of stairs like in the movies???

[promisedyou]

What? Of course not! I'm going to find a professional to train me.

I mean, movies are just movies, right? Mimicking those tactics will definitely not work!

[penalizing]

are there really professional ninja warrior coaches???
they must be pretty expensive
don't spend all your inheritance in one place!!!

[promisedyou]

Ahaha, I'm not going to do anything that crazy, Kotone. I probably won't even need to spend any money if I'm asking a favor!

[penalizing]

if you say so!!
i'll probably just go to the training sessions they're advertising

[promisedyou]

Oh, good, that means I get to watch you fall in the water multiple times!

[penalizing]

hah, you wish!!!
i have better balance than that
odds are i'll be the one laughing at all your failures!!!

[promisedyou]

Oh, really? Then you want to make a bet?

[penalizing]

you're on!!!!

[ even thought she doesn't even know what the bet's for yet... ]

[promisedyou]

Okay! Whoever falls in the water the most times during the actual tournament has to wear a turkey suit for a week. Sound good?

[penalizing]

sounds great!!!
i can't wait to see you prancing around in your turkey outfit!!!!!!

[promisedyou]

Or rather, you can't wait for you to prance around in that outfit. FIFY

[penalizing]

nope, definitely had it right the first time!!
that's just stupid

[promisedyou]

Well, I never said you weren't stupid.

[penalizing]

you're the one saying all the stupid stuff...
it wasn't even a clever comment!!
i expected better from you

[promisedyou]

I wasn't trying to be clever, you know. After all, I have to make things a little simpler for you. ☆

[penalizing]

you can just admit that you're dumb, you don't need to keep lying!!
we already all know anyway

[promisedyou]

My grades would say otherwise, though.

[penalizing]

except not really??
grades have nothing to do with being smart
all they are is proof that you can remember a bunch of useless crap and vomit it on a test

[promisedyou]

Not all of it is useless, you know.
And not all tests are about memorization, either.

[penalizing]

it pretty much all is
if i can google it in five seconds, it's dumb to make us waste our time learning it...
and the only exception to memorization is math, and that's dumb for the same reasons as above
calculators were been invented for a reason

[promisedyou]

I personally don't think it's a waste, though. I mean, sometimes it gets boring if you're not learning subject matter that interests you, but it isn't a waste.

Besides, even if we are in the age of technology, technology isn't perfect. And the internet can't teach you everything. Not to mention the fact that the internet can have false information, too.

Also you can't do all types of math on a calculator. Like you can't do measurements on a calculator in order to figure out the perimeter or area of shapes, or even do time-related problems properly, given how calculators work. Although you are wrong about one thing: sometimes people memorize things for math. Like basic times tables and square roots.

But that's all boring tl;dr isn't it?

[penalizing]

...yeah i didn't read any of that
too long

[promisedyou]

Figures.
